"Firm in texture, with tremendous focus to the blackberry, cherry, anise seed and cardamom aromas and flavors. Not heavy at all, but sleek and expressive - and extra-long on the vibrant finish. Best from 2009 through 2016. 375 cases made."

"Named after the French spelling of Chronic, the 2006 Betts & Scholl The Chronique Grenache is a beauty. Ruby and translucent in color, it delivers an upfront, fragrant array of kirsch liqueur, wild strawberry, dried wild herbs, white pepper, and licorice that gives way to a full-bodied, yet beautifully light and seamless palate. Drinking at point, yet with a solid 4-6 years of prime drinking to go, this is beautiful stuff and has an almost Rayas like transparency."

"Vivid red color. Energetic red and dark berry aromas expand with air, picking up fresh rose and incense qualities. Deeply concentrated raspberry and blackberry flavors are given spine by dusty minerality, turning firmer on the close. Fine-grained tannins guide the sweet fruit through a long, gently chewy finish. This seems more vibrant than the O.G. today, and there's the structure here to suggest that it will repay a few more years of patience."
